Something of a disappointment, considering the number of Carlton listed players available. I cannot gainsay the above comments: they saw the game and I didn't. However, it is the first time for the season that we have played this poorly. Even in our loss to Richmond a few weeks back there were good signs.
Gussy Sheehan will play senior footy this year, if he stays fit. He has the right attitude and strength. Injuries probably have hurt his pace: he was quicker than Tuohy.
The one we miss is the other Irishman, Ciaran Byrne. He has the PACE and the willingness to RUN out of defence. But it will be next year before he is really back to what we need.
Not sure how Silvagni got in the best, he was woeful...Lisle kicked 7 on a combo of him, JGM and others, his disposal by foot is terrible and I can see why Lyon moved him on....
Sandilands and Mihocek are better defenders...not sure if the former made an AFL list or was rookied but he should have been, kicks the ball really well, is composed and takes a good mark.
Cant wait to have Byrne back....need a bit more dash of half back and I think he is your Touhy replacement...Sheehan's game didnt grab me...looks a tad slow
for seniors at this stage....
